Change how sex works

[DinnerCalzone]

The current system of sex deciding both your body appearance and vocal type sucks for both character customization limitations and Real Life Gender Reasons for players. Looking at how sex is handled at a systems level, I think the simplest way to handle changing this would be to rework body types for species to be customizable using markings rather than be tied to sex, and change the player-facing verbiage around sex to refer to voice type instead. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with markings, so I'm not sure how feasible this would be. Another approach I could think to address this issue would be to add a bespoke component system to character creation that lets players choose their voice separate from sex, but this would likely take a great deal more work to get right and would probably cause issues with importing and exporting characters.

boobs marking...

I would think adding a boobs and cockandball markings would be trivially easy. The snatched waist and smaller head that some female sprites have is what makes me question if this'll work, which is why I need a markings pervert to look into this.

im a level 1 markings pervert and i would know how to do boobs and dick marking but not the hourglass waist. i could probably figure it out if i tried hard and believed in myself. this is a disclaimer that i am not actively taking on making this markings based

[mqole]

jumping in to say that for the waist you would need to find a way to tie a displacement map to a specific marking
